Description

Dr. Shilpi Bhattacharya believes monopolies are a problem and competition regulation is essential. But what exactly makes monopolies harmful? Isn't state interference worse? And doesn't regulation just kill innovation?

Shilpi is a professor at Jindal Global Law School, where she teaches and researches Competition Law and Digital Markets. She holds a PhD in the field and has also worked at a law firm in Singapore before moving into academia.
